Odia Film ‘Linebala’ Begins Shooting, Promises Powerful Real-Life Story

Bhubaneswar: The much-anticipated Odia film ‘Linebala’, produced under the banner of Srihari Motion Pictures and spearheaded by Sushant Mahanti, has officially started shooting. The film promises to portray a heartfelt and realistic story inspired by true events, capturing the nuances of everyday life.

Told through a seemingly ordinary story, Linebala brings together a talented team both in front of and behind the camera. While Sushant Mahanti has crafted the screenplay, dialogues, and overall narrative, seasoned director Niranjan Behera shoulders the directorial responsibilities. Adding a modern cinematic touch, Baidyanath Dash, known for his trendy work in Ollywood music, is handling the film’s music direction.

On the acting front, Sambit Acharya plays the male lead, with Swapna Priyadarshini opposite him as the female protagonist. The ensemble cast also features talented performers like Ashrumochan Mahanti, Debu Brahma, Pratibha Panda, among others. Bharat Pradhan is managing production execution and publicity design, ensuring the project moves smoothly.

The shooting is taking place at various locations in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, with a few sequences scheduled outside Odisha, according to the production team. Linebala highlights the untold personal stories of public servants—individuals who dedicate their lives to serving society yet whose personal struggles often remain unnoticed. The film aims to bring these silent sacrifices to the screen, resonating deeply with audiences.

Producers hope that just as Ollywood looks to deliver quality cinema to its viewers, Linebala will be embraced by audiences, earning widespread appreciation in the days to come.
